Scope
Aims, scope and focus
Journal of Renewable Materials is published by Tech Science Press. By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are Natural Fiber Reinforced Composites, Wood Treatment and Properties and biodegradable polymer synthesis and properties, together about 33.5% of its articles. Its main subfields are Biomaterials. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
This journal publishes high quality peer reviewed original research and review articles on macromolecules and additives obtained from renewable/biobased resources. Utilizing a multidisciplinary approach, JRM introduces cutting-edge research on biobased monomers, polymers, additives (both organic and inorganic), their blends and composites. JRM showcases both fundamental aspects and applications of renewable materials. The fundamental topics include the synthesis and polymerization of biobased monomers and macromonomers, the chemical modification of natural polymers, as well as the characterization, structure-property relationships, processing, recycling, bio and environmental degradation and life cycle analysis of the ensuing materials, in view of their potential applications. Within this sustainability approach, green chemistry processes and studies falling within biorefinery contexts are strongly favored.
